I read that the Central Park Five have been exonerated and that they may receive a $250 million settlement.
I also read that the jurors interviewed after the trial stated that they were not convinced by the confessions but were impressed by the physical evidence introduced by the prosecutors: semen, grass, dirt and two hairs "consistent with" the victim's hair recovered from Richardson's underpants.
Was this physical evidence real? How did it get there?
@gollum,
There is plenty of information regarding the men who were exonerated by DNA evidence. I'm sure with a minimum of effort you can find accurate info thru google or bing.

I certainly hope so. It sounds like a fair amount. Perhaps a bit low.

No.
